History
Their hotel business traces its roots back to 1967, when the Southern Sun Hotel Company was created when
After the end of Apartheid in South Africa in 1994, the so-called homelands were re-integrated into the new South Africa. This allowed Southern Sun to develop its own gaming resorts and began to compete increasingly with Sun International. In 2000, Southern Sun sold its stake in Sun International to Kersaf Investments Limited, who then continued to acquire minority interests in Sun International.[2] In 2004, Kersaf Investments Limited merged with Sun International to form Sun International Limited, the company that exists today.[5] In early 2015, Sun International sold its hotels in Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Zambia to Minor International.[6] Since mid-2015, these have been run as hotels of the Avani Group.[7] As of 2023, Sun International Limited owns or is involved in 13 hotels, casinos, and resorts.[8]
Properties
Today, Sun International's operations include integrated resorts, luxury hotel products, limited payout machine slot routes, as well as casinos.
